Lovell Family Report

I know it has been forever since I wrote. It is crazy with a little one around.

I can't believe Hanna is getting so big, so fast. She is almost seven months old. I love being a mom, it is the best thing ever. Some new things that are going: Hanna is rolling over like crazy. She still will only roll over to the right and back, but she gets where she wants to (eventually). She turns in circle and slowly pushes herself where she wants to go. We are certain that she will be crawling very soon, she gets up on her on her hands and knees. Hanna is eating three meals a day and only about four-4oz bottles. She is talking like crazy and is a great baby. She is still a little wobbly when she sits on her own, but she is getting better every day.

Kim is as accident prone as ever. His back is still bothering him. The other day he sliced his finger with a razor blade at work. He had to have six stitches. Other than that not much has changed with Kim. He is still enjoying shed hunting every weekend. He is having a lot of fun working on is garden. He drew out for the deer hunt and is very excited about that. Kim is the best husband ever and a wonderful father.

I am not up to much, just being a wife and mother. I am definitely enjoying the nice weather and being able to take walks and hang out outside. I just wish that the wind would go away.

Here are some pictures of the past month or so:

Hello!!!!!

I know that it has been a long time since I have written. We have not been up to much, just hanging out.

I had the TV on the other day and I laid Hanna on the floor on her belly. She waws quite content just watching TV for awhile.

Just A Few Things

I just wanted to give an update on the things that we have been up to. First off Hanna is sleeping in her own room now and is doing very well with it. She is going to bed earlier and only waking up once or twice, depending on what time she eats before bed, before seven. Last night Kim put her to bed and she wasn't asleep when he laid her down, but she just laid there and played with herself. We could hear her on the monitor talking. She has started to talk more and make fun noises. She has also started to squeal, it is so cute. She is doing better with her cereal, but we are still having some struggles. We took her swimming for the first time last week. It was fun. She wasn't quite sure what to think about it. She never cried, but she didn't smile or kick. She only lasted a little while before she started shivering. The other day I asked Kim to take the laundry baskets up stairs and then come back down and get Hanna. Well he didn't want to make two trips so he just put Hanna in the laundry basket. That is about all that has been going on with us lately.

Cereal

Today Hanna got to try rice cereal for the first time. She tried to eat the spoon like a bottle, she kept turning her head to the side burring it in the side of the high chair. I don't think she mind it so much as she had a problem with it not being a bottle. Next I think I will give her the bottle first and then try the cereal, maybe then she won't get so mad that she isn't getting anything to eat. I figured that it would be messy, so I fed it to her in her diaper and a bib. It was a good thing that I did because she did make a mess, not to bad but it would have beem worse on her clothes. Hopefully it will go better tomorrow.

Just a few thoughts

Well everyone is always getting on my case to update my blog with pictures (don't worry there coming) but I wanted to also give an update on Hanna. She will be four months in two weeks. I can't believe that time has gone by so fast. It seems like I was just worrying and stressing about her getting here healthy and wondering if she would ever come and now she almost four months. I love being a mom, it is the best thing ever. She started smiling a month and a half ago and it still melts my heart every time she looks up at me and gives me a big smile. She is the happiest baby. She sleeps through the night, she might wake up once, at about 3 or 4, to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Then she usually wakes up between 6 or 7 to eat and then sleeps until 9-9:30. It is great! She has also started focusing her eyes on things and she will follow me and Kim with them when we walk past her. She is starting to notice more things and get entertained by them, usually for no longer than a minute. She is very stuborn, but that doesn't seem to suprise anyone. She hasn't lost any of her hair and it seems to be turning a shade of brownish-red. She hasn't rolled over yet, but we are working on it. She is always so happy and fun to be around. We love her so much and are blessed to have her in our lives. Here a few of random pictures.

Merry Christmas

It has been crazy around here, but I finally have a minute to tell you about christmas. We were in Delta Christmas Eve and part of Christmas Day. Will and Julie went to Mexico in Nivember and wanted to share their experience with us. They stayted in a time share in Mexico and at the time share they had ropes that would block off people trying to sell things. These people could only cross the rope if they were invited. So for Christmas Eve Will and Julie acted as these people. Julie gave us all paper money and they stood behind a rope with all the souveniers that they bought. It was quite fun and entertaining. After that Julie and Gabe showed us all how to do the Mexican Hat Dance. That was quite funny.

Christmas Morning wasn't to eventful. We didn't really start Christmas until about eight-thirty. We all took turns opening our presents. And after that we all just had a relaxing morning. Later that day we went to my parents for our Christmas with them and my dad's birthday.

All in all Christmas was a lot of fun. The best part was Christmas Eve.

Every year with the Lovell's we do home made gifts. This year Kim had my name and this is what he made me. He took one of his antlers that he found and glued battery operated candles to the top of it. He used a ton of glue to get them to stick. It was awesome and I love it.
